Notes: I Existing LRT Starter System station(s); only Alternative 8 would access the West End Station, in addition to Akard, St.
Paul and Pearl stations. Alternatives 9, 10, 11 would only access the latter three stations.
2 Shared platform with the planned Trinity Railway Express commuter rail station.
3 Existing bus transit center/park-and-ride.
4 Although not modeled as part of the alternatives,, these stations offer an opportunity for future rail transfer with
potential rail lines along the Cotton Belt RR and/or the BN RR.
5 Rail transfer with the Las Colinas APT system.
